[Obsolete] Drop Pods Only

Description
v0.1.0 - 2019.02.28 - 1.189.039 - No mods required - Forces respawn in Drop Pods, disables Space Pod and Moon Lander

Note: This is for use with the "Star System" scenario.

This is a simple mod that I put together that forces the player to spawn in one of the drop pods, and disables all the other respawn ships. I haven't found a way to limit it to just the Earthlike drop pod, sorry.

Thanks for this mod so far, and trying to get Keen's attention on the matter.

I certainly look forward to earth only spawn options, for my ideal survival/exploration server.

I think its not coded that way, feels more like a bug... Oo xD

I also posted on the KSH Discord about it. We'll see.

That's interesting jk, I didn't think about messing with the air density value changing having an effect on the planet. That's strange if it's really coded that way.

no change with the pod-prefab file, maybe some old tags with gps still works? Oo
not testet, yet. need to sleep now. :) check this later.

Yeah, new system sux little bit. And no info from KSH yet, too. -.-

Hmm, but its possible. I found a simple way for this. But this works only for the alien-planet. Oo

What I did:

Just disable the default ships in RespawnShips.sbc (pod entry, too) Copy pod entry at the end and change <MinimalAirDensity>1.0</MinimalAirDensity> now we have only alien-spawn...
A value with 0.9 (earth isnt working or 0.2 or 2.0.. maybe with the right value... we have earth, like it works with alien-planet) Oo

Not what we are looking for... but a first step into the right direction. xD

greetings jk

I decided to post a modding suggestion on Keen's Space Engineers forum. Not sure if it will get looked at.

No, I haven't found a way. I think Keen's going to have to change their implementation to support it.
